Commercial Downloads, CDs, and White Noise Machines

It's hard to beat something that comes for free! But there might be times when you want a different way of listening to white noise. Also, some people are very sensitive to hearing the repeating patterns in looped versions of white noise, which can be distracting or annoying. If this happens to you, you'll want to find white noise sources that are genuinely random, or find other noise-masking sounds that work for you. There are many to pick from, but they might not be available for free in the format that you prefer.
